Hi,

The 599 Laboratory Rig may not make it to production for a bit but it could yet finish up under my Christmas tree. The company is apparently prepared to consider software upgrades - relatively easy to implement if you have the memory space on board. Send an email with your requests.

I wonder how much it owes to the Elecraft K2 and the mcHF?
Is it a better mousetrap?

Is it as shiny?

I thought that’s what the internet is for.

Actually it’s for watching 40+ year old videos of Pan’s People dancing on TOTP.

Golly, I’ll have to look for that!

Far be it from me to suggest you check out the video for Motorhead’s cover of (Uncle) Ted Nugent’s Cat Scratch Fever. Just sayin…

Where is lab599 based anyway?

I believe Russia…
